Blood in Urine – Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It
Blood in urine (female, no pain) can be easy to dismiss—especially if you’re not menstruating and feel completely fine. But at Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we urge women to take this seriously. Painless haematuria can be an early sign of something your body is trying to tell you.
What Causes Blood in Urine in Women (No Pain, Not on a Period)?
Blood in the urine, also called haematuria, can be worrying—especially when it occurs without pain and outside of menstruation.
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, our clinicians regularly assess women with this concern.
In many cases, the cause is treatable.
However, testing is important to rule out more serious conditions.
Common Causes of Painless Blood in Urine (Female)
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
UTIs can sometimes occur without the usual symptoms such as burning or urgency.
Kidney Stones
Bleeding may appear before pain develops, particularly with smaller stones.
Bladder or Kidney Inflammation
Inflammation of the urinary tract can cause microscopic or visible blood.
Benign or Malignant Tumours
Non-cancerous growths or, less commonly, cancer of the bladder or kidneys may cause painless haematuria.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations, especially after menopause, can affect the urinary tract lining.
Vigorous Exercise (Runner’s Haematuria)
Intense or prolonged exercise may lead to temporary blood in the urine.
Genetic Kidney Conditions
Some inherited kidney disorders can present with haematuria.
Medications
Certain drugs, including NSAIDs and anticoagulants, may increase the risk of urinary bleeding.
When Should You Seek Testing?
You should arrange a urine test if:
- Blood appears more than once
- There is no clear cause, such as menstruation
- You are over 40
- You have a history of kidney or bladder problems
Early investigation helps identify the cause and guide appropriate care.
💡 Even without pain, blood in urine (female) may signal a medical issue that should not be ignored.
